I’ve been placing a priority on Black/African owned venture capital funds to talk to at Lola Vision Systems. The amount of funds available that are targeting Black minority owned startups are few. Yet against all the odds, and all the uncertainty I remain committed to reserving space for minority owned venture capital funds. The AI hardware chip market is well above $160B across automotive, medical, aerospace & defense industries. Pair that with the $280B US Chips Act and you have a blue ocean growing edge AI computing market to participate in. I’m hoping more Black Fund Managers take a closer look into this market leveraging the unprecedented nondilutive capital appropriated for these initiatives as a matter of national security. Why? Because there was only 2 other Black people in the room (more here than there is typically). We represent less than 1% of total investments and I’m not sure how close to zero we are in deep tech. Yet I’m still intentional about providing more exposure. This video is from the Silicon Crossroads Microelectronics Hub Reception featuring a speech from Indiana State Senator Mark Messmer.

Exciting News: Welcoming BLCK VC to Charlotte, NC! Last week was truly inspiring! I had the honor of bringing together ~50 Black professionals to celebrate BLCK VC right here in Charlotte. The energy was palpable, showcasing the incredible potential we unlock when we collaborate and support one another. When I moved to Charlotte 9 months ago, my goal was clear: to build a community where Black professionals could learn about and access Venture Capital. With Charlotte's significant Black population, its standing as a major financial hub, and its thriving business ecosystem, I knew this was the perfect place to establish a mission-aligned Venture Capital community. I'm immensely grateful to BLCK VC for believing in my vision and entrusting me to lead this initiative, making Charlotte one of the many active BLCK VC markets in the US. A massive thank you to my partners, without whom this wouldn't have been possible: Bryant Cohen of CLT Impact Investors Khaleel Loyd of Loyd Visuals Perry Flemming of Voltron Data & We Strive Ventures Pen Howell & Robert Gordon IV of BLCK VC And Akofa Dossou my Senior Economist Partner who provided all the insights and necessary data needed to connect the dots! Relive the excitement! Watch the video recap below and check out photos below: https://lnkd.in/gZB94tWR I'm incredibly excited to nurture and grow this ecosystem with the support of our community and venture partners. I look forward to collaborating with all of you on this journey! #BLCKVC #Charlotte #VentureCapital #Community #Collaboration #BlackProfessionals #Access #Ecosystem #BVI #BVICohort7
